The answer to that question…THEY LOOK FAKE!

Step 3) Dab the pumpkin with cheesecloth or soft rag to wipe off part of the paint and soften the look.

Step 4) Repeat the steps doing 1/3 of the pumpkin at a time until pumpkin is covered.

Step 5) Put the final touches on the faux pumpkin by dabbing the wash until your pumpkin is how you like it.

Seriously??? That is it! So glaze away…you can also glaze the white fake pumpkins too! The best part is…you can set these faux pumpkins out in September and keep them out through Thanksgiving. Are they a little more expensive? Yes but you will have them for years to come.
